I am not an expert in Poland, but ...
Small business jet in Florida. WTF!
Federal authorities said that the plane crash Sunday near Greenacres was a Learjet with nine people aboard and had departed Austin, Texas and was headed to the Bahamas. The plane crashed into a mobile home neighborhood around 12:50 p.m. in the area of Military Trail and 10th Avenue North, causing major destruction, including fires and scattered debris. As of 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 1, there was no confirmation of fatalities either from the plane or people on the ground.
... on Alyoshki, the work continues. The Dnipropetrovsk Thermal Power Plant in Dnepropetrovsk has been destroyed and is not operational. The timeframe for its restoration is unknown, according to energy expert Omelchenko. Meanwhile, Dnepropetrovsk and the surrounding region have been experiencing power outages for the second day. Meanwhile, here is Kiev.
Per the US tipping Russia about terrorist act in Tsaritsyno. SOB has been caught by FSB.
Lying through his teeth. He is pathetic. Not that Trump is any different, but increasingly the professional and moral level of the US top military brass raises some serious questions.
The New Cold War Pits a U.S. General Against His Longtime Russian Nemesis. It’s Trump’s national security adviser H.R. McMaster vs. Putin ally Valery Gerasimov.
McMaster is an amateur compared to Gerasimov and is absolutely inconsequential in all matters related to strategy, operations and technology. 9 years ago I noted:
... will not understand what it means. The significance of this--but let's leave it here and maybe someone will understand why the Swan Lake is so significant.
Ask your local CIA operative.... the moment I wanted to go to sleep, the greatest democracy of them all, the facade of happiness and stability (pumped with shitload of EU taxes extracted from Euromorons in the Western Europe) has issues ...
... concentrate on Aleshki. The rest of 404 is getting pulverized, from Kiev to Kremenchug.
Here is Kremenchug refinery getting decommunized. Launches continue. As Mr. Peskov states clearly--preparation for negotiation does not imply any cease-fire.
... keeping civilians hostage is a well established pattern not just by Nazi criminals from Kiev but their curators from the West. Cowards and imponent pretenders do that, not real warriors.
Mr. Ushakov repeats again.
2. If they want to get near the table--they can buy tickets. Nobody invited them.
3. The date hasn't been set up yet. Probably middle of November.
Meanwhile. Al Jazeera reports.
... no "General Frost", or rather this pathetic mythology by losers such as French and, later, Axis that it is always the frost which gets them, otherwise they would have gotten those Russkies.
LOL))
Vladimir Putin lectures Nordic leaders on Russian history.
FT reports. Obviously The Boss didn't take them seriously, Stubb and this Norwegian dude forgot that Putin is the troll of 80th level. Haven't we seen this before? Ah, yes.
Putin Nearly Bores Tucker Carlson to Death With Two-Hour History Lesson.
But at least for Tucker it was good natured.
... we all remember Ike's parting speech in January 1961.
Some of the leaders in Europe—Macron included—want this conflict with Russia to continue. We’ve talked about the military-industrial complex here in the United States that keeps beating the drums of war. Europe has one too. For that complex to keep growing and justifying itself, it needs a boogeyman. Right now, that boogeyman is Russia. As long as they keep repeating “Russia is the threat, Russia is the threat,” they get the budgets, the influence, and the political cover they want. The endless war narrative serves their interests, not the interests of the people paying for it or the soldiers on the ground. This isn’t about defending Europe from an imminent invasion. It’s about sustaining a system that requires a permanent enemy.
West's military-industrial complex exists only for the sake of profits. It was fully exposed as military-technological fraud stuck in 1990s. NATO cannot fight Russia, the short (in historic terms) period of triumphalism and self-aggrandizing in the wake of the Soviet collapse is over, has been for some time now. They cannot take it.
... is obsolete. I can only imagine how Alexander Bortnikov (Director of FSB) was looking at CIA's big honcho Ratcliffe when he visited Moscow. Sarcasm? Sympathy? Amusement? Likely all three of those.
... the moment German youth tries to defend itself by organizing, Gestapo ... pardon me ... German police packs them and persecute them for hate crimes.
... that Macron spoke to Putin in August. When asked about this "conversation" Peskov dryly responded: ask Reuters where they came up with this from.
The neighbor? Norway's PM suddenly recalled geography.
"Norway is Russia's neighbor. We have an extensive maritime border. We will maintain good-neighborly relations — this is important for our security."
As was correctly observed by commentators: Oh, what happened? You have just realized can't defeat Russia in this war!
From 31 years ago and the letter of the Officer X which was published in Time magazine.
"Americans" meaning US military-political top do not understand, they are incompetent, corrupt and have no courage to face the reality of Russia, warfare and US position as just another great power with rather limited resources when it comes to real war. Nobody, with the exception of soy boys, buys US military propaganda anymore.
... of the best NATO force.
... Europe is irrelevant and Russia does and will continue to profit from Europe's death.
... too. No way, period.
I hate to say it but at this point Putin invading Europe may be the only way to save it.
Present day Europe is not worth a single drop of blood of Russian soldier. Moreover, Europe also must invite more Ukrainians and they will complete turning Europe in a pigsty. Let Europe kill itself completely on its own. In the end, Russia and Russians are NOT this Europe and Europeans. Let it burn, it richly deserved it.
... real brothers. From Africa, storm troopers, Order of Courage recipients.
... the march again, this time it is more serious because the State of France is bankrupt and is incapable of maintaining the level of government spending on social programs. The cake has a preset size and you cannot enlarge it.
Demonstrations are held all over France including Bordeaux and other places but I have news--not gonna help, the country is screwed.
Meanwhile, some demonstration of what Russian Army has to deal with everyday--decomposing corpses of VSU everywhere.
It was early this year when Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wanted to move the world. A replica of it, anyway. Two floor globes said to be used by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower during World War II are housed in the Pentagon, where subsequent generations of Army leaders became custodians of the artifacts, according to people familiar with their lineage and an accompanying plaque dating them to the 1930s. The historical significance was attractive to Hegseth, these people said, and his staff requested that the secretary’s office become the new home to one of the 30-inch globes. ... Ordinarily, moving historical items within the building is a deliberate process overseen by trained curators. Instead, Hegseth’s staff dispatched its own team to relocate an Eisenhower globe. They lost control of the artifact and dropped it, sending the globe crashing onto its base and impaling the fragile shell near Antarctica, according to those familiar with the incident. The resulting gash appears to be several inches wide.
This tattooed loser and amateur wanted to touch (forget about fitting) Ike's shoes. They all pretend that they are great military leaders while being corrupt midgets. Sure, and I am an alien from planet Zoltar.
... no, not shot down--malfunctioned (happens periodically). The latest in Russia's growing arsenal of inexpensive cruise missiles. Enter Filin (Owl).
Range-1,200 kilometers, speed 800 km/hr. Inertial and GLONASS Guidance. Warhead ranges from 50 to 100 kilograms of high explosives. Infra-Read optronic homing with machine vision. Used already since Summer this year. One feature of it is utterly scary--can fly 6 meters above the ground--good luck detecting it. Fully Russian-made, including R-500 jet engine, parts of the body are 3D printed, fuselage is from composite materials.
Electing perverts, criminals, globalists, satanists. Well, the last great Frenchman is spinning in his grave and looks on in Moscow as a great monument.
France, you don't have de Gaulles anymore, in nation without honor only cowards and traitors are born today.... as you all know, in Ceuta. And Belarus)))
Because this is how real geopolitics works--big guys decide. United States is not a hegemon.
... lead in terms of C4ISR. Things started to change by 2010s. Not that, say, Russia wasn't developing her own C4ISR, especially its C2--Command and Control--system. By 2020 there was no American lead in this respect with the exception of always excellent space-based ISR capabilities. SMO changed everything dramatically for Russia and the US. Today, Russian Armed Forces are the only force which develops and practices what in the US is called Joint Warfighting Capability. But the scale and scope of Russia's multi-domain netcentric operations is such, including constant introduction of newest C2, such as Svod, that it will remain beyond the reach of the US military. As it unfolds ...
The head of the U.S. Army formation leading the charge for fielding the service’s next-gen command-and-control system said Oct. 13 that the timeline of implementing the tech hinged on factors above his pay grade. Commander of I Corps Lt. Gen. Matt McFarlane told reporters at a media roundtable in Washington that the desire to see the platform deployed across the formation by the end of fiscal 2027 was dependent on what the service was able to provide. ... The Army’s NGC2 platform will permit technologies, weapons, sensors, devices and applications from across the force to co-exist on the same network, streamlining decision-making during combat environments.
But here is the issue--even if to imagine that somehow this whole thing succeeds and is deployed, what WILL it command and control? I can tell you what--it will C2 a kinetically obsolete force which has no capability to defend itself in real war nor conduct massive combined arms operations, having sustainment of operations capability which is laughable. With the enemy (alright, it is Russia) who not only possesses as good if not better C2 as you but outguns, outranges and outpaces you in every single weapon system (shooter) on the battlefield what do you have as the outcome? Back to square one--being an expeditionary police force designed to fight people who wear sandals and speak on walkie-talkies.
Here is their problem.
I Corps uses SAG-U to digest lessons learned from the unique military dynamics of the war in Ukraine and determine how to apply them to other potential conflicts worldwide. The Army recently awarded defense tech company Anduril Industries a contract worth up to $1.8 billion to continue developing NGC2’s common data baseline, or software foundation. Anduril, along with Palantir, Raft and Striveworks, has been refining the technology to help the service move NGC2 from the experimental phase to fielding.
US military cannot learn anything from SMO because it only has access to fairy tales provided to it by 404 and some electromagnetic picture it can lift from theater of war through ISR, period. Beyond some tactical tricks it has no access to critical parameters included in the highly classified tactical and operational data sets on Russian side and this whole thing will result for the US military in a traditional GIGO--Garbage In, Garbage Out.
Meanwhile, Russia is working on forming first armor formations which are totally remote-controlled or fully autonomous. Yes, T-90Ms and Shturms with BMPTs. This is what was stated by Deputy Defense Minister Army General Yunus-bek Evkurov,
"We will have unmanned tank units – this is what we are currently testing at the training ground. There are also combat support vehicles for these tanks, and a large number of ground-based robotic complexes," Yevkurov noted. Unmanned tanks were used during the "Center-2026" exercises at the "Chebarkulsky" training ground in the Chelyabinsk region. "An unmanned tank is controlled, aimed, fires, and strikes enemy positions in the same way as if a crew were inside the vehicle," Yevkurov said. He also said that the unmanned combat support vehicle (BMPT) has already proven itself well in the zone of the special military operation.
US doesn't produce tanks anymore, not to mention tanks of T-14 Armata or T-90M Proryv caliber.
I have news for morons from Washington Post.
Russia, sensing victory, cheers Trump’s latest shift against Ukraine. Kremlin officials are crowing that Western support of Ukraine is about to collapse, and Trump’s recent moves are steps to closer alignment between Russia and the United States.
Trump’s recent ratcheting up of pressure on Zelensky could mean the U.S. president is again seeking to strong-arm the Ukrainian leader into a deal on terms favorable to Moscow.
... Mr. Gideon Rachman and his curators from MI6 (Financial Times is a dumpster for MI6 scumbags), that Russia doesn't negotiate with losers and chihuahuas. EU is a loser and needs to go. You are nobodies, Mr. Rachman.
Economic suicide. It is now a fait accompli and there is no going back.
Europe must consider a No Fly Zone to protect civilians in Ukraine - let’s not prevaricate as we did in Syria.
We? Who we? UK? This military and economic chihuahua? Well, why don't UK try this. The US won't, USAF for all its bluster and Hollywood propaganda machine will not last very long there. But then again, looking at (lack of) the intellectual level of NATO intel and military machine--this is a collection of chest-thumping amateurs. It is a cold hard fact now--a complete institutional degeneration.
... city council building is destroyed by barbarians.
... not this dude.
Retired Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, who served as an adviser to President Trump, breaks down what's known about the "mother of all bombs," which sources say was discussed in relation to the Iran war. McMaster also reacts to Mr. Trump's latest comments on the Russia-Ukraine war.
Yes, "historic lows on defense" per him. Yep, $1.5 trillion. The only thing US generals like him are "good" at is talking about spending. Fighting wars? Nope. This dude has Ph.D in ... history. We know what kind of history.
Meanwhile, France is burning. Now, the weapons store was robbed in Marseille. That's the start!
... your Tesla AI BS is nowhere near Bukhanka's AI BS.
... to Hegseth and Pentagon. From September 1 through October 15 (45 days) 2026 just long-range drones.
... about the mood of Russian society not just toward 404 but the West.
It is not going to have electricity, period. Strikes on Kiev, Krivoy Rog et al continue this very minute. Massive.
As you all know, Patreon was bought by Apple. Apple immediately imposed monthly subscription rules and that will affect support already this month. Now you will have to subscribe to me on a monthly bases. This, I assume, will not change the amounts you usually are charged (again, I still don't know how it will work) on aggregate for month, but for my dedicated supporters I think you may derive your support sums from what you usually have been contributing on a monthly bases these past years. It is just this time it is going to be one monthly lump sum. So, be aware. I hope you stay with me.
... because Donny said so. So, Russians struck at all thermal power stations of Kiev.
... live in 50 minutes. Larry and I also recorded conversation today--it will come out later.
... yesterday.
"At this point it looks like we are going to be affected as well. That’s very visible in the area of PAC-3 MSE Patriot missiles, they’re going to be delayed for sure,” Nowak told a panel at the Warsaw Security Forum. “In general there’s going to be impact and there are going to be... additional delays to the deliveries scheduled already or being under the contract already.”
... in my life, but, but. This is Nuclear Strategic Missile Submarine of the project 667 BDRM (NATO--Delta IV).
... and also for hysterical and, easily manipulated by trolls' demagoguery, other people. The US desperately needed not just diesel but UNSANCTIONED Russian hydrocarbons globally. To lift sanctions the US needed a PR action which would disarm critics. This PR action worked brilliantly. Guess from three times who gets enriched mightily? Right, Russia. Me repeating this point ad nauseam for many years that Russia WILL talk to the US was, naturally, ignored by collection of kindergarten kids who want WW III, famine, deteriorating situation everywhere et al. They, as we all know, are real professionals in geopolitics and diplomacy/s. The fact that the US has been forced to ask Putin for relief is somehow ignored. Poor, poor petulant dears.
Ukraine should replace Vladimir Zelensky, US President Donald Trump told reporters outside the White House on Saturday, accusing the Ukrainian leader of refusing peace deals with Russia and worsening global diesel shortages. “I think it’s time for Ukraine to get a new president,” Trump said. “Zelensky could have settled this war many times. Many, many times. And he chooses not to,” he said. Trump also accused Zelensky of ignoring warnings against attacking Russian refining facilities. “We said, you can do whatever you want to Russia, don’t hit the refineries, because that’s a world problem that’s caused. And he wants to make problems for the world,” Trump said. “And what does he do? He goes and hits the diesel fuel.”
What happens next? This:
... to our brotherly American people, Russia provides diesel))
... so easy. Senator Cramer knows everything about war--he saw movies Patton and Top Gun: Maverick. He heard not only word counter-offensive, he also knows such words as tank and a gun.
Ukraine's counteroffensive is an integral part of the country's defense. Only retaliatory strikes will force the Kremlin to the negotiating table, states Republican Congressman Kevin Cramer at a briefing with journalists. According to the US politician, counteroffensive actions must be an inseparable part of Ukraine's overall defense strategy. Cramer emphasized that he firmly believed a counteroffensive had to be part of the overall action plan, adding that taking the fight to the adversary’s territory was also part of defense.
I have very bad news for this Senator--404 is over and the only "operations" combined West is capable of is terrorism in its various forms. Meanwhile:
MOSCOW, October 9 – RIA Novosti. Former prisoners of Ukrainian prisons who deserted from the Armed Forces of Ukraine united in gangs and seized power in the village of Veliky Burluk and adjacent villages in the Kharkiv region, Russian law enforcement agencies told RIA Novosti. "It is important to note that in Veliky Burluk and adjacent villages, the "power has changed" a long time ago. In fact, the owners here were former prisoners of Ukrainian prisons, who deserted from the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and united in gangs," the source said. He stressed that these gangs are supervised by former employees of the Kharkiv SBU, who were fired because of their connection with the arrested head of the regional department of the SBU Dudin, as well as with the neo-Nazi battalion "Tornado".
Sure, counter-offensive it is.
